Mapping and Classifying Settlement Locations
âMapping and Classifying Settlement Locationsâ discusses GRID3âs work on collecting and analyzing settlements data. GRID3âs settlements work has two areas of focus: creating a comprehensive settlement layer that enables a real-world picture of communities, and using building footprints, geospatial data layers, and machine learning algorithms to classify structures and local areas within settlements. The paper also discusses the applications of GRID3âs methods in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia.
GRID3 works with countries to generate, validate and use geospatial data on population, settlements, infrastructure, and subnational boundaries. For more information, see https://grid3.org/.

Small-scale fisheries and sustainable development
This brief presents the main results from the Illuminating Hidden Harvests (IHH) report, providing new, clearer insights to support the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) and progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Tracing shadows: How gendered power relations shape the impacts of maternal death on living children in Sub-Saharan Africa
Driven by the need to better understand the full and intergenerational toll of maternal mortality (MM), a mixed-methods study was conducted in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa to investigate the impacts of maternal death on families and children. The present analysis identifies gender as a fundamental driver not only of maternal, but also child health, through manifestations of gender inequity in house- hold decision making, labor and caregiving, and social norms dictating the status of women. Focus group discussions were conducted with community members, and in depth qualitative interviews with key- informants and stakeholders, in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Malawi, and South Africa between April 2012 and October 2013. Findings highlight that socially constructed gender roles, which define mothers as care- givers and fathers as wage earners, and which limit women's agency regarding childcare decisions, among other things, create considerable gaps when it comes to meeting child nutrition, education, and health care needs following a maternal death. Additionally, our findings show that maternal deaths have differential effects on boy and girl children, and exacerbate specific risks for girl children, including early marriage, early pregnancy, and school drop-out. To combat both MM, and to mitigate impacts on children, investment in health services interventions should be complemented by broader interventions regarding social protection, as well as aimed at shifting social norms and opportunity structures regarding gendered divisions of labor and power at household, community, and society levels.Web of Scienc

Harmonising Subnational Boundaries
âHarmonising Subnational Boundariesâ discusses GRID3âs work to support the harmonisation, production, and use of digitised legal/administrative units, operational units, and statistical areas. GRID3âs boundaries work has three primary areas of focus: improving and harmonising operational units; fostering improved collaboration on boundary harmonisation among disparate government bodies; and using boundaries harmonisation to support census efforts. The paper focuses on case studies in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia.
GRID3 works with countries to generate, validate and use geospatial data on population, settlements, infrastructure, and subnational boundaries. For more information, see https://grid3.org/.

Harmoniser les limites infranationales
âHarmoniser les limites infranationalesâ aborde le travail de GRID3 de soutien Ă l'harmonisation, la production et l'utilisation d'unitĂ©s lĂ©gales/administratives, d'unitĂ©s opĂ©rationnelles et de zones statistiques numĂ©risĂ©es. Le travail de GRID3 sur les frontiĂšres s'articule autour de trois axes principaux: l'amĂ©lioration et l'harmonisation des unitĂ©s opĂ©rationnelles, la promotion d'une meilleure collaboration sur l'harmonisation des limites entre des organismes gouvernementaux disparates et l'utilisation de l'harmonisation des limites pour soutenir les efforts de recensement. Le document se penche sur des Ă©tudes rĂ©alisĂ©es au Nigeria, en RĂ©publique dĂ©mocratique du Congo et en Zambie.
GRID3 accompagne les pays dans la création, la validation et l'utilisation des données géospatiales de population, localités, infrastructures et de limites infranationales. Pour plus d'informations, voir https://grid3.org/.

Mapping Health Facilities
âMapping Health Facilitiesâ discusses GRID3âs work with local stakeholders and data collectors to build capacity for the production and management of geospatial data on health facilities. This paper first discusses GRID3's approach to mapping health facility data. In the next section, it discusses GRID3's support of routine and non-routine immunisation campaigns in Nigeria and the consolidation of existing health facilities data and collection of new data in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Following that, new GRID3 initiatives are discussed, including data consolidation and collection in Zambia and work around health facilities data in Sierra Leone.
